CHRISTMAS CAROL Darkness descends, its' cloud of black laced fingers Like a lady of the night And field mouse, what does he know, scurrying round In lane's hedgerow silent fright And graveyards, do they hold fears, in crosses gloom Nothing there, but drying tears Blanket of night, that holds no warmth, no comfort Watching now, the sky now clear Holly wreaths, upon our doors, red berries there Was it once a thorny crown Do sleigh bells ring, in their dreams, as children sleep Safe beneath the blanket down Yet on the streets, some so cold, in cardboard homes Stockings, are not hung for them Stories told of Christmas time, and yuletide glow Can peace and love, come back, again |

Yes it is sad, isnt it. I do like that first line, I could see diamond stars on the laced fingers. Enjoyed. ~Victoria~ Life is a great big canvas-Throw all the paint on it you can. |
